As most of you probably already know, the New York Court of Appeals will be webcasting the oral arguments for the following appeals concerning the same-sex marriage issue: Hernandez v. Robles; Samuels v. New York State Dept. of Health, Kane v. Marsolais; and Seymour v. Holcomb.  The oral arguments will take place next Wednesday on May, 31, 2006 (see here).

On a related note, here is an excellent article from the New York Blade on the same-sex marriage appeals.  The article mostly focuses on the recusal of Judge Albert Rosenblatt.  It offers a lot of good information about the inner workings of the Court (including what will happen if there is a 3-3 split).  The writer did a lot of great research and provides that information in the article.
